This article is total FUD in my book. I drink soylent every day for at-work meals. I really appreciate the time savings, and having a zero effort/compromise way to go vegan (which I believe in both for ethical and environment reasons, but I haven't been able to commit to sustainably, personally).
Now here's why I disagree with this article so much: Besides programming, I'm an award winning BBQ chef that's cooking for a local food truck and soon a brick-and-mortar location. I am _very_ familiar with spending a lot of time on food. A longer cook might take 13 or 14 hours. I do this every week. And I _love_ that.
Understanding and enjoying the value of Soylent isn't an either/or thing. I love cooking at home, I spend lots of time in front of an oven or a smoker. I also appreciate Soylent as a healthy and inexpensive way to keep myself nourished when I don't want to think about food.
I wonder why the author would write this article without even making an attempt to understand how real people, not his hypothetical straw-man of a Soylent consumer, use the product.
